The Hipster Factor: The Christina Finelli Recoverv Project By Amanda Udoff Published; Friday" December 9, 2005

I admit defeat: There are too many interesting bands out there for one person to ever have any hope of listening to them all.. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I can tell you about my latest discovery, The Christina Finelli Recovery Project, whom I discovered only due to the disorganization of Record and Tape Traders. The solo project of one Minneapolis-based Jonny Dirge, The Christina Finelli Recovery Project is instinctively thrown into the pseudo-folk singer-songwriter category. With his yelping vocals and dynamic guitar, the comparisons to early Bright Eyes or an angrier Iron and Wine come to mind.

The record is currently available in the Baltimore area at Record and Tape Traders, but I recommend picking up a copy and keeping an eye out for The Christina Finelli Recovery Project to roll through town. This is one artist that I look forward to seeing more from.
